    twitterTwitter seems to have hit the big time, but it’s not as popular as it could be. Main reason? It seems Twitter isn’t being accepted by teens.

    The New York Times says 11 percent of Twitter users are between the ages of 12 and 17. It says many teens feel it’s too grown-up and “lame”. An 18 year-old interviewed for the article was quoted as saying “I just think it’s weird and I don’t feel like everyone needs to know what I’m doing every second of my life.”

    Will Twitter catch on with the younger generation or is is just too grown up? What do you think?
